📢 An Open Letter to Speaker Johnson
Fascism rises when people stay silent. Join the No Kings movement for democracy—organize, speak out, and build people-powered resistance before it’s too late.
Resharing this Post from People Power United:
Speaker Johnson,
I am writing this in response to your recent appearance on Fox1 and your statements that the “No Kings” rally is a “hate America” event and suggested links to “pro-Hamas” and “antifa.”
Speaker Johnson, have you forgotten this country was created by pioneers who rallied against a king and stood for liberty and justice for all — not just the wealthy, powerful, or privileged?
Let me be clear: I don’t hate America. I love this country enough to champion freedom over fascism every single day. I am not “pro-Hamas,” and if standing against fascism makes me “antifa” in your eyes, then so be it — I wear that label as a badge of honor because I believe in freedom, equality, and a democracy that answers to the people, not to kings, billionaires, or wannabe authoritarians.
What I hate is watching politicians refuse to do their elected jobs — the ones who trade compassion for cruelty, justice for corruption, and leadership for excuses. America has big, urgent problems — wealth inequality and racism are at the top of the list, followed by a housing crisis, a healthcare crisis, an education crisis, and an environmental crisis that threatens our children’s future.
And yet, instead of governing, you and your allies waste precious time dividing Americans with lies, rhetoric, and scapegoats. Friendly reminder: Trump and Republicans have had over ten years to offer a comprehensive plan for dealing with the healthcare, housing, immigration, and environmental crises — and you have no plan. Zero. Zippo. Just lies and fearmongering.
You accuse ordinary citizens — mothers, teachers, workers, veterans, and students — of hating the very country we’re trying to save. But you are wrong about who we are.
We are the mothers who work tirelessly to put food on the table, the fathers who hold down two jobs to keep a roof over our families, the abuelas and abuelos whose hands built this nation, the aunties and uncles who show up for their communities, the sisters and brothers who march for justice and equality. We are united — across age, race, gender, sexual orientation, pronouns, faiths, and professions — against the hostile takeover of our democracy by a king wannabe.
Here’s a friendly reminder: nearly 80 percent of people who call America home did not vote for Donald Trump or for your Project 2025 agenda to oppress the good and decent people of this country. We see through the fear. We see through the lies. And we will not be silenced.
So, Speaker Johnson, I pray that you find it within your heart to be a leader, not a follower. Lead with courage, not cruelty. Lead with compassion, not control. Lead for we the people — not for the powerful few.
Whether you stand with us or against us, we will rise.
We will rise for our children, our communities, and our future.
We will rise for America — because this is what love of country truly looks like.

Project 2025 is Harming Americans
Project 2025 is an extreme, authoritarian agenda that threatens American democracy, freedoms, and civil rights. Backed by conservative mega-donors like the Koch family and led by the Heritage Foundation and over 100 aligned groups, it lays out a 900+ page plan to centralize power under the presidency and permanently dismantle the federal government as we know it.
The plan would replace 50,000 nonpartisan civil servants with loyalists, grant the president near-total control over agencies like the DOJ, FBI, and Federal Reserve, and criminalize protest through militarized policing. It seeks to ban abortion and contraception, end LGBTQIA+ protections, dismantle public education, eliminate Medicaid and Medicare, and defund labor, environmental, and disability protections. Promoting Christian nationalism, it would erase the separation of church and state, suppress voting rights, and silence dissent—paving the way for a permanent far-right dictatorship.
